Warts are caused by a virus known as the human papilloma virus,(HPV). There are numerous forms of this virus, (HPV) and the different forms are typically responsible for the different types of warts that appear as growths on the skin. This different types of warts include, plantar, flat, genital and common warts. Warts are indeed contagious, and occur when the virus come in contact with the skin. This virus is most likely to enter your skin in a place where the skin is broken, such as through scratches or cuts.

Broadly, there are 5 removal methods in the market, and 4 are done at the dermatologist. The last type is self-administered.
There are other wart removal home remedies that do not require you to damage the area around the wart, however these remedies will take more time to be effective.

Cauterization/Electro-Surgery of Warts. This in short is the procedure for burning off warts with electric current.

Most experts agree that if you develop warts they should be treated as it is possible either at home or by a dermatologist. Since warts are contagious if you develop one, it could become a "mother" wart, which could easily result in spreading into numerous warts.
Finally, the last common removal method which can be carried out at home is by using over-the-counter medications. Visit the pharmacy and purchase plasters, solution or gel containing tretinoin, salicylic acid or other medications containing skin-exfoliating agents.
While the above methods are commonly applied by most people, there are still associated risks you must consider. External procedures performed at the dermatologist can be painful and in some cases, the wounds can remain uncomfortable and irritating for several days.
One last somewhat unconventional home remedy for warts that has gained some attention is the use of duct tape. Covering the wart with duct tape warms the area, softens the skin around the wart and deprives it of oxygen.
